The MISTERS study is a randomized control trial of a cognitive-behavioral skill building multi-session intervention that targets men who are newly released from jail and have a history of drug use. Men 45 days or less post release with self reported HIV negative and substance use histories were randomized into either a 5-session intervention or control group.
